This one is fairly obvious, sure.

With Charles Barkley all over the news right now via the Auburn coaching search, naturally we've been YouTubing one of the sharper sports personalities around. (This is a great one.) Ran across some of the "Fave Five" commercials, then started thinking about D-Wade's renaissance this season (ignore the last couple of games). We posed this question to our friend: "Who are the five best players in the NBA right now?" Then we asked a few more friends. No one can agree on all five. Most people will give ya LeBron, Kobe and CP3. Then what? Dwight Howard? Kevin Garnett? Carmelo Anthony? Deron Williams? Is Brandon Roy in the discussion yet? T-Mac? Who you got?
